On the first and second day, we had multiple guest speakers and we got to hear their profesional journey, as well as listen to their insights about the job and what the day-to-day basis looks like. On the third and fourth day, we had the opportunity to do desk shadowing and networking with employees from the team we were allocated to
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Overall, it was a great learning experience. Getting insight into the business and the different roles really helped me understand how investment banking works day-to-day and where I could see myself fitting in.
